Abstract
Es sabido que los países desarrollados realizan la mayor parte de la in-vestigación agropecuaria, sin embargo, es necesario, identificar en qué grado se practica la investigación en los países de América Latina y El Caribe, motivo por el cual se emprendió un estudio bibliométrico que permitiera identificar sus fortalezas y debilidades. Se recurrió al Science Citation Index Expanded, periodo 1995-2002 y se obtuvieron los registros de artículos publicados en revistas indizadas en el men-cionado índice así como los artículos citados y las citas recibidas. Se utilizaron 6 ca-tegorías del Journal Citation Reports: Economía y Política Agrícola; Ingeniería Agrícola, Buiatría y Ciencia Animal; Agricultura (multidisciplinas); Ciencia del Suelo; y Agronomía. Se encontró que el mayor número de artículos correspondió a las revistas clasificadas en Buiatría y Ciencia Animal.
ABSTRACT: It is well known that most of the research on agriculture is carried out in developed countries. However, it is necessary to identify to what extent Latin Amer-ica and the Caribbean countries are contributing to the mainstream research output. Therefore, we attempted a bibliometric analysis in order to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the region. Science Citation Index Expanded, for the period 1995-2002, was used as source of data. We retrieved papers published in indexed journals in the following six catego-ries: Agricultural Economics & Policy; Agricultural Engineering; Dairy & Animal Science; Agriculture, Multidisciplinary; Soil Science; and Agronomy. Also, papers that were cited as well as the number of citations attracted. The most productive dis-ciplines were: Dairy & Animal Science.
